That is exactly why I went with the Honda Accord. The dealership is one
mile from my house and I know the owner's son as well as the service
manager. It is so convenient when I have routine maintenance performed
because I drive it over, and walk home. The last time I walked back to
pick it up, they said they would have drove it to me.... I need the
exercise anyway (ha, ha).

Of course, I got a great deal on the EX L V6 in February '07 because
they sold it to me for $500 below invoice! I wish I could have held out
for an 08, but I needed a car very badly in February.
